I have questions about weddings.

I need to know these things.

[Mindy will write them down, her writing is mostly printing and it's trying to be very neat.]

1. What do you wear at a wedding?

2. Do I have to get them a present?

3. Should I know anything else about weddings?

Oh. [ it comes out like a squeak, because hooooooly moly, that is eerily similar ]

Okay.

...She wouldn't mind you telling me, right?

nudge ]

[neverplays]

Of course -- [crap.] she won't mind.

I mean, it's Max. Max is pretty cool.

mindy ]

[blabs]

[ wow.............. she wonders if max has nothing to be scared of. that would be nice.

she takes another second to think about this. ]

You know, I kinda know someone like Max.

[neverplays]

Really? Who?

mindy ]

[blabs]

[ vaguely. ]

A friend of mine. Except she doesn't have cat DNA; she has bird DNA. Hawk, to be specific. In case you wanted specifics.

nudge ]

[neverplays]

Can she fly? Like a bird can?

mindy ]

[blabs]

Uh huh. She's got wings just like a bird's on her back. Except a lot bigger. And there's other bird stuff going on with her, but it's mostly the wings.

[neverplays]

Really? That's got to be awesome.

mindy ]

[blabs]

[ so far so good. ]

You really think so?

nudge ]

[neverplays]

Yeah! I mean, we all have to be special somehow. My dad always said that I was supposed to be the best version of myself.

mindy ]

[blabs]

The best version of yourself... that must mean you're really good at what you do, huh?

nudge ]

[neverplays]

I try at least.

mindy ] 1/2

[blabs]

I bet you do.

mindy ]

[blabs]

She's me, by the way.

nudge ]

[neverplays]

Who's you?

mindy ]

[blabs]

That girl that I know.







With the wings.

nudge ]

[neverplays]

Wait...











Seriously? Like... seriously, seriously?



Like... you... have wings?









You have wings??? Really?? Nudge?? You have wings???

mindy ]

[blabs]

[ internal oisufoiufoiufosiudpsduosif ]

Yes?













I promise it doesn't get any weirder than that! Not MUCH weirder, anyway.

nudge ]

[neverplays]

Are you serious?

This is the most amazing, awesome thing ever!

You can fly! I mean, I was buying a jet-pack back home - but you don't even need one.

mindy ]

[blabs]

[ ten thousand knots just undid themselves in her stomach. YAY. she laughs! ]

Yeah, I can! Jet packs are probably pretty cool, but I think wings are probably cooler. I'm biased, though...

So, yeah. So, remember my Halloween cstume? Some parts of it were pretty... real, haha.

nudge ]

[neverplays]

That explains a lot about the costume. I thought the castle just did something cool for once.

mindy ]

[blabs]

Hehe... well, I guess the castle probably could do something like that? But yeah, that was all me.


You're really cool with it?

nudge ]

[neverplays]

Sure! Why wouldn't I be?

mindy ]

[blabs]

I dunno... haha, I guess I might be a little paranoid, maybe. But some people aren't always cool about the mutant freak thing.

I'm really really glad that you are.

nudge ]

[neverplays]

Well, I know all about keeping secrets, so don't worry about it.

Also, I don't think you're a freak.
